Summer internship

I met with the director of the Public Computing Center a few weeks ago to discuss an internship. The woman is a retired school librarian herself which made our conversation very interesting. I will be starting my internship when I get back from the ALA Conference in the first week of July. I get to work with the digital media club with two other lovely ladies. The club uses various digital media tools to promote fitness and nutrition while learning new technology. Since the library is a partner of the local Bookmobile, I will also have the opportunity to volunteer there as well. I am excited because I enjoyed the time I spent volunteering last summer. The last part of my internship requires me to create and implement social media and internet safety workshops for teens. It's a program I have been dreaming of implementing since I thought of the idea last summer. I think social media is a great vehicle for students' expression, creativity, and knowledge; but I also want students to know how to safely use it and not broadcast personal information to the world wide web. I cannot wait to get started on this venture!
